This book presents a novel overarching account of negation and negative dependencies, based on novel data from language variation, language acquisition, and language change. Negation is a universal property of natural language, but languages can significantly differ in how they express it: there is variation in the form and position of negative elements, the number of manifestations of negative morphemes, and in the restrictions on the use of Negative and Positive Polarity Items. In this volume, Hedde Zeijlstra explores the hypothesis that all known syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and lexical ways of encoding dependencies should be also be attested in the domain of negation, unless they are independently ruled out. He shows that the pluriform landscape of negative dependencies and markers of negation that emerges has broader implications for theories of syntax and semantics and their interface.

Syntax is the system of rules that we subconsciously follow when we build sentences. Whereas the grammar of English (or other languages) might look like a rather chaotic set of arbitrary patterns, linguistic science has revealed that these patterns can actually be understood as the result of a small number of grammatical principles. This lively introductory textbook is designed for undergraduate students in linguistics, English and modern languages with relatively little background in the subject, offering the necessary tools for the analysis of phrases and sentences while at the same time introducing state-of-the-art syntactic theory in an accessible and engaging way. Guiding students through a variety of intriguing puzzles, striking facts and novel ideas, Introducing Syntax presents contemporary insights into syntactic theory in one clear and coherent narrative, avoiding unnecessary detail and enabling readers to understand the rationale behind technicalities. Aids to learning include highlighted key terms, suggestions for further reading and numerous exercises, placing syntax in a broader grammatical perspective.

Sprache begleitet uns auf Schritt und Tritt. Wir sprechen, horen zu, lernen neue Worter und erleben, wie sich Sprachen verandern. Doch was macht Sprache eigentlich so besonders? Warum ahneln sich die Sprachen der Welt in vielem - und unterscheiden sich zugleich so stark? "e;Die geniale Einfachheit der Sprache"e; nimmt die Leserinnen und Leser mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise in die Welt der Linguistik. Anschaulich und fundiert zeigt das Buch, wie Sprachen aufgebaut sind, wie Kinder sie erwerben, warum sie sich wandeln und was sie uber die Entwicklung des Menschen verraten. Im Zentrum steht ein erstaunliches Prinzip: Aus wenigen einfachen Bausteinen entstehen unendlich viele Worter, Satze und Bedeutungen. Gerade in diesem Zusammenspiel von Einfachheit und Komplexitat offenbaren sich die beeindruckende Kreativitat und Leistungsfahigkeit menschlicher Sprache. Das Buch verbindet wissenschaftliche Fundierung mit einer verstandlichen und anschaulichen Darstellung. Zahlreiche Beispiele machen auch komplexe Zusammenhange greifbar und eroffnen Sprachinteressierten wie Fremdsprachlernenden einen ebenso leicht zuganglichen wie tiefgehenden Einblick in die Welt der Sprache. Die niederlandische Originalausgabe erschien unter dem Titel "e;De geniale eenvoud van taal"e;. Fur die deutsche Ausgabe wurde der Text nicht nur ubersetzt, sondern gezielt bearbeitet, sodass die meisten sprachlichen Phanomene anhand deutscher Beispiele veranschaulicht werden.
